THEOLOGICAL ORGANIZATION.

The record OF this organization ex-
hlbits the following; Seventies, 2;
elders, 2; priests, l; teachers, 4; dea-
cons, II; members, 50; nOD-members, 2.
Total, rs. The labor of this very i'm
portant feature of our Academy are as
follows: Priesthood meeting for the
hearing of repetitor reports which set
forth the general standing and advance
ment of all the students In theology and
for brief lectures oy the students Oh the
various degrees OK the priesthood have
been held weekly. General repetitioIs
in theology are held on Mondays; also
grand theological exercise, consisting
of a variety programme on Wednesday.
The various meetings have been pre-
sided over by male students and the
minutes taken principally by female
students. and q record Of said minutes
is kept by a student appointed by tie
principal. Thus far, IN the presenta-
ton of the principles of the gospel to
the students of the academy, much OF
the Holy Spirit has been realized and
has tended to bring forth much gospel
truth, especially in the advanced de-
partment. Science and religion have
been made to harmonic to the removal
of infdelity and unbelief. The devo-
tional exercises, consisting of singing
by the academy choir. ably conducted
by Mrs. Josephine Greenwood, and
prayer, principally by one of the stu
dents, has contributed much to the in
terest and spiritual benefits of the insti-
sutton.
As yet, our Philosophical Society has
not been resumed.
CLOSING REMARKS.
AS our institution becomes more
firmly established by age and expert
ence, its influence in discipline and
government becomes more marked.
With some exceptions, the students
have caus d the teachers but little diff
ficulty in the government and manlpu-
Iation of the exercises. On the whole,
the intellectual and religious advance
ment of the students in attendance
during the term has been of such
character as to win for them
selves praise and commentator and
,ueet the hearty approval and satisfao.
ton of the teachers. This advance.
ment is made conspicuous by its infu-
ence for the refinement and improve
ment of our young people.
The furniture, borrowed by the
academy, is very limited, and of such
construction as to limit the comfort and
convenience of those who attend. With
the exceptions of two blackbosrds and
Lamanitish Uranium, we have no
utensils in the way of maps, globes,
charts and apparatus for making
demonstrations and explanations,
which deficiency works a hardship to
the teachers, and retards the advance
ment of the students. In view OF these
necessities, your earnest and immediate
consideration of the matter is respect
fully solicited Notwithstanding the
fact that The teachers have for num-
Der of months past labored with but
little financial remuneration, we enter
tain faith and encouragement for the
future prosperity and success of our
noble academy, on which may the be-
nign influence of God rest, and stimu
laie the Saints of Willard Stake TO an
undivided support of the same, is the
sincere invocation OF

DRINK MORE WATER.

Our dry Eastern climate calls for extra
water to "moisten our clay" Physicians
generally agree that the American people
are physically too dry, and would be the
better for large addition to the fluids Of
the body. We offer marked contrast in
fluid fullness to the denizens Of moister
climates. Eastern men undergo a won
derful transformation in the moist atmos-
phere OF the Pacific coast. Do not be
afraid, in warm and thirsty weather, to
drink all the water you want, with due
attention and regard to the effect pro-
duced. The water craved is all needed,
and is craved because it is needed, to
supply the large drafts made by per-
SEPARATION and evaporation from the skin.
In cool weather, also, it is good for dried
up anatomy, to practice system Of
drinking Independent OF thirst. We add
remarks found quoted without credit
from medical writer, which strike us as
judicious and forcible:
"Thst water promotes appetite and di-
gestion when taken with meals is shown by
the fact that no 'anti-fat' system of diet is
80 remarkably successful as that in which
no drinks are permitted to be taken with
meals or until two hours after them.
When it is an object to reduce the amount
of the blood, as in certain heart affections,
dry diet system is of great service, but
the kidneys must be in excellent working
order or this system must prove injurious
As matter of fact, however, a considera-
BILE number Of people in every community
take too little fluids Of any kind. When
the supply of liquids is much below the
actual demand, the greatest dangers are
incurred from the accumulation Of waste
materials"

THE POWER OF LOVE,

No amount of pay has ever made a
good soldier, good teacher, good art
list, or good workman. You pay your
soldiers and sailors SO many pence day,
at which rated sum one will do good fight
ing for you, and another bad fighting.
Pay as you will, the entire goodness OF
the fighting depends always upon it's be-
ing done for nothing, or rather less than
nothing, in expectation Of no pay but
death. Examine the work Of your spirit
ual teachers and you will find the statis-
tical law, "The less pay the better work"
Examine also your writer's and artists;
for ten pounds you shall have "Para-
disc Lost" and for plate of figs Durer
drawing; but for a million OF money ster-
ling, neither. Examine your men Of sci
ence; paid by starvation, Keplar will dis
cover the laws of the orbs of the heaven for
you; and driven out on the street, Swan
meridian shall discover the laws OF life for
you-such hard terms do they make with
you, these british men who can only be
had for hirel
Neither is good work ever done for
hatred any more than hire, but for love
only. For love Of their country, or their
leader, or their duty, men fight steadily,
but for massacre and plumber feebIy.
Your signal, England expects every man
to do his duty" they will answer; your
signal OF black flag and deaths head they
will not answer. And, verify, they will an

tie. The cross-bones will not make a
good shop sign, you will find ultimately,
any more than a good battle standard.

Mealy Potatoes.

These are Juliet Corson's instructions
in Good Housekeeping Carefully wash
the potatoes in plenty of cold water with
a soft cloth or brush; if they are to be
boiled, peel off a small ring of the
skin Of each, and leave them in fresh
cold water. Half an hour before they
are wanted for the table, put them over
the fire in plenty Of sailed, boiling water.
and boil them until they can be easily
pierced with fork, but not until they
begin to break open; fifteen minutes for
small potatoes, twenty to twenty-five for
large ones, will be long enough to boil
them TO this point. When they are ten
der drain them; cover them with clean
towel, folded; set the saucepan where the
potatoes cannot burn, and keep them hot
until they are needed for the table. For
baking carefully wash them, but do not
peel them, and allow at least half hour
in hot oven for medium sized potatoes.
Serve them as soon as they are done, as
they deteriorate if they stand after they
are soft.

EARLY EARTHQUAKES.

Two periods stand out with especial
prominence for the magnitude of their
commissions, and for the profound infu-
ence which these have had upon the
scenery of England. The fret Of these
periods lies far back in the dim erss OF
geological history. In the earliest glimpse
that is obtainable of primeval Britain we
can family descry few scattered islets,
bare perhaps OF vegetation, or at least
clothed only with plants of humble
grade, such as club MOSES and ferns.
Round these rocky prominences a wide
but shallow sea swept eastward across
what is now Europe, with here and there
a ridge or island marking where some
one of the great mountain chains of the
Continent have since been uprearsd. To
the north lay mass of land that stretch
ed across where Scandinavia and Finland
now lie, and may also have extended
westward into America-a wide arctic
continent out of whose waste came the
materials that have served as the founds-
tions for the superstructure both of Eu-
rope and of North America. Spreading
eastward and southwark across the site
of the European Continent, the sea
which was probably an eastward extern
sion of the original Atlantic Ocean, re-
ceived a continental supply OF mud silt
and sand, swept into it from the shores
of it's islands and from the northern land.
Slowly its floors sank down and the sed-
iments gathered there until the islands
were one by one submerged and buried
under an ever-increasing load Of detritus.
But as the supply of sediment seems to
have kept pace, on the whole, with the
depression, the sea never became abyss
NAL. Its depth may not have greatly va
ried, but over its floor there came event
ually to be accumulated depth of sed-
iment amounting to many thousands OF
feet.
While these events were transpiring
over the area OF the future Europe. q
long succession Of submarine volcanic
outbursts took place in the west, across
the tract that now forms the basin of the
Irish Sea. Thick sheets of lava and CO.
pious showers of ashes we're poured forth,
which spread out upon the floor of the
sea, and probably in some cases built
themselves up into volcanic islands. As
one center of eruption died out another
would break forth from where are now

OF Pembrokeshire northward to the bor-

Butter Making in France.

1t is well known that the better class of
French butter commands high price,
from its superior and equable grade. The
same is true of Danish butter. An Eng
lish writer chat country absorbs large
quantities of French and Danish butterl
writing upon the subject says the found
alton idea OF it is to churn it with the
least possible delay after milking, and
adds: "The Normandy farmer churns
every day, however small the quantity of
milk. In Denmark, where the diaries
often include fifty to one hundred cows,
daily churning is considered necessity;
whereas, in Ireland, and often in Eng
land the cream is allowed to stand for
week. Every French dairymsn churns
once day, and salts his butter with
given quantity, such proportion as is
adopted by the general custom of his
neighborhood. 1t ia taken to market two
or three times a week, and the purchaser
practices careful system Of sorting and
mixing according to quality. The result
is that the London buyer OF Brittany but
ter, whether of first, second or third quail
ity, knows precisely what he will get. The
whole lot corresponds exactly to the SAM
pie. Danish butter-making is conducted
on gigantic scale. The Government
sends experts to all butter countries to
study methods, and when these men re-
turn they are put in care of dairy schools.
The result is that Danish butter is good
and uniform"

THE HOMES OF ENGLAND.

1t is very delightful to find ones self
in one of these English country resi-
dences. The house is commonly old,
and has history. 1t is oftentimes itself
a record, like that old farmhouse my
friend John Bellows wrote to me about,
which chronicled half dozen reigns by
various architectural marks as exactly as
if it had been an official register. "The
stately homes Of England" as we see
them at Wilton and Longford Castle,
are not more admirable in their splen-
doris than "the blessed homes of Eng
land" in their modest beauty. Every
where one may see here old pRrsonages
by the side of ivy-msntled churches, and
the comfortable mansions where gener-
atoms Of country squires have lived in
peace, while their sons have gone forth
to fight England's battles, and carry her
flags of war and commerce all over tbs
world. We in America can hardly be
said to have such possession as fam
lily home. We encamp-not under can
vas, but In fabrics of wood or more
lasting materials, which are pulled down
after brief occupancy by the builders,
and possibly their children, or are
modernized so that the former dwellers
in them would never recognize their old
habitations.-Oliver Wendell Holmes, in

MOTHER AND DAUGHTER.

The mother who permits her daughter
to dress better than herself makes a
grave mistake. Misguided affection
prompts the sacrifice, but the daughter
receives a moral injury. From BABY
hood she should be quietly given TO un-
derstand that mother is the queen of the
household and that she is only a subor-
dinate- This places mother and daugh-
ter in the normal and right position, and
il kindly persevered ip, will rebound to
the happiness and good of all concerned.
Let the mother think twice before she
yields to the promptings of loving heart
to do anything which will tend to reverse
this position. The daughter will thus
unconsciously learn to yield a willing
Difference to her mother in all things, will
look up to her with loving respect, and
will herself develop into sweeter, more
unselfish, more noble womanhood. As
she advances in years more and more ac-
customs herself to the household tasks,
much to her own benefit, besides giving
her mother leisure Tor reading and per-
sohal culture; and instead of being
ashamed of her, she thinks that any col
lege president, or the President of the
United States himself, ought to be proud
to know her mother.-Housekeeper.

HOW TO PREVENT FIRES.

l. Always buy the beat quality of oil.
2. Never make sudden motion with a
lamp either in moving it or setting it
down.
8. Never place the lamp on the edge of
table or mantel.
a. Never fill lamp after dark, even if
you should have to go without light.
8. See that your lamp wicks are always
clean and that they work freely in the
tube.
6. Never blow a lamp out from the top.
z. Never take light to closet where
there are clothes. If necessary to go to
acloset, place the light at distance
8. Use candles when possible in going
ABOUT the house and bedrooms. They
are cheaper, can't explode, and for many
purposes are just as good as lamps.
8. Matches should always be kept in
stone or in earthen jars or in tin.
10. They should never be kept where
rats or mice can get hold of them. There
is nothing more to the taste of a rat than
phosphorus. They will eat it if they can
get at it.
IL. Have PERFECTLY good safes in every
place where matches are to be used, and
never let match be left on the floor.
II. Never let a match go out OF your
hand after lighting it until you are sure
the fire is out, and then it is better to put
it in the stove or an earthen dish.
ID. 1t is far better to use the safety
matches which can only be lighted upon
the box that contains them.
IA. Have your furnaces carefully exam
ined in the fall, and at least once during
the winter by competent person. All
the pipes and 1ues should be carefully
looked to.
Is. II there are any closets in the
house, near chimneys or hues- which
there ought not to be-put nothing of
combustible nature in them. Such clos
cts will soil silver ware, crack crockery
and burn bedding. They form a bad
part of any house that contains them.
16. Never leave any wood near a fur
mace, range or stove to dry.
IL. Have your stove looked to fire.
quently TO see that there are no holes for
coal to drop out.
Is. Never put hot ashes or Goals in a
wooden receptacle.
10. Be sure that there are no curtains
or shades that can be blown into a gas
light.
20. Never examine a gas meter after
dark.-Net0 York FiremeR's Herald

Educated Farmers.

No man ought to know so well as the
farmer that like produces like, and that a
man will reap what he sows. Every seed
will bring forth after its own kind. We
do not gather grapes from thorns, or figs
from thistles. If you SOW wheat, you
reap wheat; if you plant corn you gather
corn. No man should know so well as
the farmer that this law holds good to
other things in life. A mans brain is a
soil as capable of producing a harvest as
the land of farmer. A neglect to plant
good seed will secure a corresponding
harvest. Plant no seed and the most
noxious weeds will cover the ground.
Plant tares and tares will be the harvest.
Plant falsehood and luxuriant growth
of lies will be secured. Ifyou want your
boys to be men, in the largest sense, see
to it that their minds are properly Guilt
waited, and the right kind of seed is plant
ed. Give the boys the advantage of a
good education.-Racine Agriculturist.

THE DROUGHT OF 1919.

From the unpublished letters of Jeffer-
son, recently appearing in the Southern
Bivouac, the following description OF the
drought of 1913 is taken:
"From the fork Of James River and the
falls Of other rivers upward and west
wardly, we have had the most calamitous
year ever seen since 1755. 1t began with
the blockade, so that the fine crops OF the
last year made in these upper parts, which
could not be at market till after Christ
mas, were shut up by that and lost their
sale. After keeping my -four till the ap-
proach of the new harvest, was obliged
to sell it, lest it should spoil on my hands,
at price which Melted me only AZ cents
bushel for my wheat, of course total
sacrifice. In the year 1855 it never rained
from April to November. There was not
bread enough to eat, and many died of
famine. This year in these upper regions
we have had not single rain from April
14th to September Doth, five months, ex-
cept slight shower in May. The wheat
was killed by the drought as dead as the
leaves of the trees now are. The stems
fell before the scythe without being cut,
and the little grain in the head scattered
on the ground. From 500 acres sowed
here have not got in 1900 bushels, not
three times the seed. Our corn has suf-
fered equally. From 270 acres planted
and which in common years would have
yielded from 300 to 1000 barrels, shall
not get barrel an acre, and great por-
ton of that will be what are called nub-
bins, being half-formed ears with little
grain on them. Corn consequently starts
with us at three and third dollars, and
being the principal food of our laborere,
its purchase will be heavy tax. am
told the drought has been equally fatal
as far as Kentucky. There have been a
few local exceptions here from small bits
Of clouds accidentally passing over some
farm. Should the little wheat we have
made be shut up by continuance OF the
blockade through the winter, we shall be
absolutely bankrupt by the loss of two
successive crops.
